Can I ask what the 10 gig is for?
Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router?

I was using an N100 based mini PC and it did fine at 1gbit. But now that I have 3, and it’s realistically closer to 4 or 5 it doesn’t cut the mustard.
Proper hardware based routers are also just so much more efficient. That N100 machine was constantly hot to the touch. My new UniFi router uses less power and does 10 gig easily.

Gotta go fast. My WiFi can achieve > 1gbit, my internal network is already 10 gig. Why not support faster everywhere?

Sometimes it’s really that simple 🥰

I have 2.5G N100 and it works wonderfully at that rate. I think higher might be tough, but it still pushes that throughput even with IPS enabled in OPNsense.
The complained about heat is right though. I stuck a noctua fan on the top and it’s been happy since. It lives my closet, so noise isn’t a facto anyways
